Dual Cash Storage Access for Coordinated Deposit and Withdrawal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional money depositing devices lack the ability to coordinate with money handling devices for efficient deposit and withdrawal processing, leading to increased operational costs and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A money depositing device with dual storage units, each secured by distinct access mechanisms, allows for coordinated operation with money handling devices, enabling separate management and access control for different types of money storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single storage unit is used in conventional money depositing devices, then the device structure is simple, but the operational efficiency is low and security is insufficient for coordinated operation with money handling devices
Solution Approach 1:
The storage unit is divided into a first storage unit for storing deposited money and a second storage unit for storing predetermined amounts of money in specific denominations. Each storage unit has independent access control, allowing different users to access different storage units simultaneously, thereby improving operational efficiency without requiring complete system redesign
Solution Approach 2:
The money depositing device is enhanced to serve multiple functions: it can issue coupons to customers, store deposited money, and provide change funds to money handling devices. The dual storage unit structure enables the device to coordinate with money handling devices for both deposit and withdrawal operations, making it a multi-functional system
2Reliability
If access to the storage unit is restricted for security, then security is improved, but the ease of operation for different users is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Access control is segmented by storage unit: the first storage unit requires first access means (e.g., first key or authentication method) while the second storage unit requires second access means (e.g., second key or different authentication method). This allows different users to access different storage units independently, maintaining security while improving operational convenience for authorized users
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service operation where authorized users can independently access and withdraw money from the storage units according to their needs. The first user can access the first storage unit using first access means, and the second user can access the second storage unit using second access means, without requiring assistance from other users or centralized control

AI summary
A money depositing device includes: a first storage unit that stores money received through an inlet; a second storage unit that stores a predetermined number of items of money, received through the inlet, in at least one predetermined denomination; a first security structure that restricts access to the first storage unit and removes a restriction on the access to the first storage unit with a first means in order to collect money stored in the first storage unit; and a second security structure that restricts access to the second storage unit and removes a restriction on the access to the second storage unit with a second means different from the first means in order to collect money stored in the second storage unit.
